When I was but a callow youth I read a definition for ichneumon which has stuck in my mind:

'Ichneumon:- a weasel-like quadraped (4 legs?) which destroys crocodiles'eggs" Could this be the same creature? If you have further information please confirm my memory (or not!). 82.21.23.8 (talk) 22:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn't this page be moved to Ichneumon (medieval zoology)? 151.203.246.40 (talk) 20:54, 17 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Diodorus Silicius mentions the thing in book 1 chapter 3 of his historical library. He says they perforate crocodile eggs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.0.16.230 (talk) 01:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
